Our Boards are pre-oiled and ready-to-use; before first use, wash, rinse and dry it with a kitchen towel.

We use a mixture of mineral oil and natural beeswax to coat. However, we recommended you apply CUTWOODY oil regularly.

Keep your cutwoody cutting board sterile once you wash it! Wash the cutting board after each use.

• A. Hand wash in warm *not hot* soapy water after each use.
  
• B. Rinse.
• C. Dry it with a kitchen towel, or preferably let it air dry, but place it upright and not crosswise to prevent water from accumulating and seeping into the board.
• D.. When you are sure it is completely dry, place it on it's stand and display it on the table.
• E. Do not put it in the dishwasher and do not soak it in water.

Wood is a natural material and tends to expand and cracks and splits. We recommend that you do not store the board in closed places

How do you decorate you cutting board?

The naturally high oil content in teak, acts as a water repellent, and this oil will keep the board moist for longer periods of time.

Oiling twice a month keeps your board healthy.

1. only use CUTWOODY maintenance products we provide you on our website.
2. Leave the oil absorbed for at least six hours, for better results, leave it on overnight.
3. wipe off any remaining oil with a clean, dry cloth.
4. Don't let your board dry out, or lack lubrication results on cracks, warps, or splits.
5. Avoid any cooking oil ( Olive oil, Coconut oil, Sunflower Oil, etc) These oils spoil the board.
   
   

How to remove odors OR stains?

A cutwoody cutting board rarely absorbs odors or stains. Yet, it can happen! Only three natural ingredients are needed to remove odors or stains: lemon, salt and baking soda.

1. Cut a lemon and rub it in on the cutting board.
   
2. Sprinkle the board generously with kosher or table salt or baking soda (the salt or baking soda will absorb any odors, flavors and stains).
   
3. Build a paste over the board rubbing the lemon and squeezing the juice.
   
4. Let it dry for some hours.
   
5. Remove the dry paste with the help of a spatula or your hands.
   
6. Wash, rinse and dry; and be sure to oil your board after.
